More than 575,000 Tennesseans will qualify for tax credits in 2014 to help them buy health insurance, according to a report released today by Families USA, an advocacy organization that supported passage of the Affordable Care Act.

In Davidson County, 55,570 people will be eligible. For a family of four, the tax credits will be offered to heads of households making between $47,100 and $94,200 a year. For an individual, the range is between $15,860 and $45,960. These income ranges are between 138 percent and 400 percent of the federal poverty level.
